@UC47kCPgCyzTSPLsb8ei4YSA I agree with you there. But when you draft what is supposed to be "the guy" with a high draft pick, that guy needs to play sooner than later in today's NFL and you probably drafted him because things weren't working out to begin with. It's all about development at this point not wins. So putting either of them in at this point doesnt matter the team isnt winning anyway. Any snaps those 2 get this year is a benefit to the team for next year and beyond.

HMMM.....So Dallas had the 19th ranked defense in 2014 when they got robbed? How would Dak do with the 19th ranked defense Romo went 12-4 including 8 come from behind wins and had a passer rating of 113 And people actually say Dak is better than Romo LMAO Oh Skip Bayless you sad, sad, little man LOL

Colin is talking to talk again, Zeke's going to be the highest paid running back in history, but if you buy into what Colin is saying that means Dak can't make 30 mil a season. If the Cowboys are so smart they won't pay an average QB elite QB money if it's the defense that is winning games. Dak should make between 20-24 mil per season to save money to pay Bryon, chidibe, and vander esch when the time comes.

We have not come close to finding our QB. Dak has no accuracy over 8 yards. Notice I didn’t say 10 because that would be a stretch. Doesn’t see wide open WR. He did have good first year but our team dramatically changed from previous year. I don’t believe in Wak.

This commentary about the Giants shows that you spent little time watching and more time listening to the talking heads around you. Jones made some errors taking care of the football (3 fumbles). He made some terrific plays in the pocket and had very good poise and accuracy. His ability to make a big throw directly after having been hit hard the play before shows he's not easily rattled and the touch on his deep ball was there. You make it sound like his numbers were the product of 1st team linemen and easy check down passes. If that's what you're implying you didnt watch the same games I watched. You just watched the highlights.

So the Giants front office leaked information about Eli and the offensive line is on the field to protectl Jones and make him look better????Maybe he should look at the fact that this offensive line is a brand new unit and needs time to gel so it can protect the quarterback and their franchise running back.Colin tried so hard to sound smart that he came off sounding like a conspiracy theorist in a room with Jesse Ventura

I’m gonna be honest, usually cowherd creates outlandish clickbait content but this segment seemed legit. His theory on the giants plan with Daniel jones seems very plausible, the only problem I have with it is I don’t know if the giants staff is that smart to orchestrate a “media shield” to create a blanket of hype for their franchise.

This is what suck about the Daniel Jones situation. He plays well, *insert generic excuse as to his success. He plays bad, then the media including asshats like Colin are all like, see we told you he sucked. Jones is doing everything he's asked to do. Give the kid a break, you all want to tear him down before he even has a chance.

Um DJ was throwing bombs down the field when pro football focus said he didnt have power in his throws. I'm not buying the designed bs. Yes they started more games with their o line. That's because they have a lot of new faces and want to build as much chemistry as possible. The throws he was making weren't easy dink and dunk high % throws. He was kinda slinging it

Only one mistake the cowboys have made and that is Jason Garrett. Imagine if they had a competent head coach? They would probably have won the super bowl last year and would probably be going for a repeat this year.

I love how through this hold out the "media" guys are all dreaming of these negotiating leverages and all the ex players know it dosnt mean a thing if Zeke thinks hes the best runner in the game he will hold out till he either gets paid it or traded to someone that will and no amount of leverage changes that

Just like to remind Colin that 60% of the Giant offensive line did not play together last year. The new guys need to develop chemistry in games too.On his praise of the Cowboys, I am in agreement. Jones runs a great organization and he runs it well.

The offensive line needed a bunch of preseason snaps... I'm praying Eli gets more time to throw the ball and proves his haters wrong.. Daniel gonna get his shot and he's should light a fire for Eli... Let's go Big Blue!!!!!
